[Tony104104]

What are the advantages/disadvantages of doing leg curls and leg extensions instead of doing squats?

Thankyou for any information...

No advantages that I can think of.

Disadvantages:
Won't be getting that natural test increase that's all so important.
Won't be hitting the glutes.
Less sport application.

Stick to Squats, Glute/Ham Raises, and Stiff leg Deads and your body will thank you for it by rewarding you with strength and growth......... Peace

Ok, I give up. How exactly do I do a ham raise?

leg extensions are one of the few beneficial machine excercies I do, but then again that is after squats. ham curls to me are useless, i'd rather do sprints

Several different versions here. I highly recommend them. Try the glute-ham push-up to start. They are much more difficult than theymight look.
